Forge server hosting
Forge is the original mod loader for Minecraft Java Edition — the engine behind RLCraft, ATM9, Vault Hunters, and most of the modded ecosystem.
Every major modpack
RLCraft, All The Mods 9, Vault Hunters, SkyFactory, Create: Above and Beyond — if it’s on CurseForge, it installs in one click.
Pre-tuned Java args
We start your Forge server with Aikar’s flags + tuned heap sizing for the modpack you picked. No more tweaking startup scripts.
Single-thread CPU performance
Modded Minecraft is bottlenecked on the main thread. Our AMD EPYC nodes are tuned for high single-thread performance, which is exactly what big mods need.
Forge on Citruxhosting
Forge is the heavyweight of Minecraft modding. It’s also the most demanding engine to host — a typical 200-mod modpack uses 6–12 GB of RAM and pushes a single CPU core hard.
On Citruxhosting, Forge support is first-class: every plan ships with the Forge installer wired into the Marketplace tab, JVM arguments tuned for Aikar’s recommended modpack flags, and CPU allocation that prioritises single-thread performance (where Minecraft’s main loop runs).
For a small modpack like Better MC: Forge Edition or a vanilla-plus pack, Gold (6 GB) is fine. For RLCraft / SkyFactory / Vault Hunters, jump to Diamond (8 GB). For ATM9, Bedrock-tier modpacks, or Create-heavy worlds, Netherite (12 GB) is the sweet spot.

FAQ
How much RAM do I need for a Forge server?
Depends on the modpack. Light packs run on 4–6 GB, kitchen-sink packs (ATM9, ATM10) want 12+ GB, hardcore survival packs (RLCraft) want 8+ GB.
What’s the difference between Forge and NeoForge?
NeoForge is the community fork of Forge, mostly used for Minecraft 1.20.4+. Both work on Citruxhosting; pick whichever your modpack lists as required.
